About the Book

'Jack Reacher may just have a fresh rival.' Daily Mail

'Put Mercy River in the So Damn Good column ... I couldn't put it down.' MEG GARDINER

When Van Shaw receives a distress call from his fellow Afghan War veteran, Leo Pak, he has to leave the urban hazards of Seattle to head far south to a town called Broken Ridge, deep in the wild heart of rural Oregon.

Leo faces charges of murdering a local gun dealer, and while Van doesn’t doubt his friend's innocence, he knows he faces conviction. As Van starts his own covert investigations, the small town is suddenly awash with Army Ranger veterans, converging for a raucous annual Rally. Was it only this reunion that brought Leo to town? Or is someone at the Rally setting Leo up to cover for their own dark designs?

Glen Erik Hamilton

Glen Erik Hamilton is a Seattle native and is currently working on a second novel featuring Van Shaw and Seattle's criminal underworld.

“Put MERCY RIVER in the So Damn Good column. The story crackles, the writing soars, and the characters leap alive off the page. I couldn’t put it down.”

- Meg Gardiner, Edgar Award-winning author of INTO THE BLACK NOWHERE

“MERCY RIVER is a terrific thriller, deftly plotted and sharply written. Glen Erik Hamilton is a genuine talent.”
